The Dodos - Visiter

I'll keep this short and to the point. If you enjoy the musical styling of Ohtis, The Shins, and Freelance Whales then you will like this band even more.

Hyro Da Hero - Belo Horizonte

This man is the best rapper out right now...Well, maybe not the best, but definitely my favorite. This is an earlier album of his and I'm posting this one because of the great samples he chose to use as well as his best lyrical content. These samples include Refused, Battles, and Weezer. The man has great musical taste and on top of that has a great understanding of both rock and hip hop.

Tangled Thoughts of Leaving - Deaden the Fields

A few months back a friend of mine sent me a track by this band and for some reason I never got around to listening to the whole album until recently. Its been a while since I've a heard a genuinely well crafted Instrumental/Prog Rock band and these dudes deliver. Some of the songs I found myself wondering "what the fuck is going on?" but as the songs went on, the more I realized how well crafted the songs are and how many different places they go. The songs on this album range from 4 to 17 minutes but it is well worth the journey. One of those bands where you can just get lost in thought and forgot where you're at.

NOUMENON - Party Mathematics E.P.

Noumenon is an instrumental band with a wee bit of vocals on a couple songs. I feel as though I'm hearing the band play in a garage when I listen to this album, and I say that in a complimentary way. You can download their album for free on their bandcamp. I'd write more but there are much more bands that I must post today.
